ALGIERS – Algerian President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, instructed the Government, during the Council of Ministers meeting he chaired on Sunday, to establish and activate “within one month” a single window dedicated to investment and the two national bodies responsible for import and export, respectively.
The President instructed the Government to set up and activate the aforementioned bodies in accordance with the directives given in this regard, according to a communiqué from the Council of Ministers.
Regarding the directives related to the single window, the communiqué states that “its work is primarily related to the exclusive act of investing, away from centralized or decentralized administrative management, with the aim of facilitating investment and smoothing out difficulties and obstacles, particularly bureaucratic ones that hinder investors.”
“It is legally authorized to launch all operations related to investment,” added the source.
Concerning the creation of the two national bodies responsible for import and export, the communiqué explains that “the goal of their establishment is to achieve efficiency in management according to the new vision and new mechanisms.”
“President of the Republic affirmed that the institutional nature of the body responsible for imports, with the participation of several sectors, allows it, through its proactive action based on accurate information, to precisely define import needs,” the source added.
This body, placed under the authority of the Prime Minister, “also enables rapid intervention and the adoption of the most effective and adaptable decisions in a flexible manner,” said the source.
Moreover, the President ordered the Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion to present new proposals for organizing import and export operations that the State encourages according to a “comprehensive and integrated long-term vision rather than a short-term one,” the source concluded.
